Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

The battle lasted for three days and three nights.

Following the Queen of Blades's order, some of the Zerg's outer forces launched an attack, beginning to delay the Terran army.

On the surface, the Zerg offensive shows no signs of abating.

These low-level, mindless insects are nothing but cannon fodder, even the powerful Thunder Beasts are no exception.

However, the core Zerg Queens have all boarded the Leviathan warship, and the Queen of Blades no longer intends to fight.

These Space Marines in tin cans are incredibly tough, incredibly resilient, and incredibly durable!

Are you kidding me?! Where did that bastard Mengsk get this super soldier manufacturing method from?!

Moreover, these Space Marines seem to have been designed specifically for the Zerg, with their powerful regenerative abilities and fire-burning capabilities, making them the most terrifying weapons for the Zerg.

This is a powerful bio-weapon developed specifically to deal with their Zerg. Queen Blade now finally knows what Mengsco's trump card is.

Unfortunately, she didn't have any trump cards, so she has no choice but to retreat now.

"You've won this time, Raynor, but you won't be so lucky next time. Once I've recovered you, I'm going to beat you into a pulp." The High Score Queen snorted coldly after all the high-ranking Zerg queens entered the Leviathan Mother Chamber.

They directly activated the warp drive of the Leviathan warship, leaving Char Planet, where these Zerg queens still existed.

Then the Zerg's lineage will not be extinguished. They can hatch some larvae at any time, and in just a few days, they can hatch a large Zerg army.

More importantly, Kerrigan now possesses a star energy extraction container. With this valuable item, her race will never have to worry about energy again; wherever there are stars, they can extract enough energy.

They can produce Zerg armies much faster than before, but the most crucial problem still arises.

If Mengsk could also mass-produce these Space Marines, then he could mass-produce these powerful Space Marines.

No matter how many of your Zerg units you have, when faced with swarms of these tin cans...

The sheer number of Zerg no longer seemed to pose a significant deterrent, and these creatures' stamina and endurance were ridiculously strong.

The battle has lasted for three days and three nights since it began. Even the human support units have had to rest because they can't take it anymore, but these mortar-clad soldiers are still fighting with boundless energy.

It wasn't until they saw the massive Leviathan warship in the sky retreat that the human legion realized the Queen of Blades had escaped.

"Look, in the sky, the Leviathan warships have sailed away, the Queen of Blades, the Queen of Blades has retreated."

"The Queen of Blades is gone! Those damned bugs are gone! We...we won!"

"God bless us, we have won the final victory in this war, we have won."

"Now is not the time to relax. Warriors, the insects on the ground have not been completely cleared! Warriors, continue the attack, kill all these insects, and completely liberate this planet!"

"Let this place become our new human colony!" Jim Raynor roared, raising his cleaver.

"Liberate this planet, expand our humankind's new frontier, liberate this planet!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Eliminate these damn bugs! Eliminate these bedbugs!"

Faced with the fleeing Leviathan warship, the human battlecruiser did not pursue it, because their mission was to reclaim the planet Char.

Moreover, such a massive Leviathan warship or battlecruiser is like a small karaoke bar in comparison.

Even a regular Leviathan warship is much larger than a human battlecruiser, let alone this super Leviathan, which looks like a planet from a distance.

Who knows if such a behemoth has any special weapons on it?

"Commander, does the main battleship that Queen Blade is on have any special planet-attacking weapons? The kind that could even destroy an entire planet?" An adjutant approached Jim Raynor and asked.

"If she wanted to attack, she would have done so long ago. She probably doesn't have that kind of weapon, but we should still have the soldiers ready."

"If a large amount of energy is detected gathering in the sky, everyone should immediately board the spaceship and escape this planet," Jim Raynor said.

Although he now serves the Empire, his memories are still those of Jim Raynor, and he remembers everything that happened between him and the Queen of Blades.

Therefore, he knows this woman quite well and can accurately deduce what she is going to do.

As long as I am alive, as long as I am on this planet, then Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, will absolutely not launch an attack to destroy this planet.

She would never allow herself to die, and the current situation would only push Sarah Kerrigan's rage towards Mengsk to its peak.

However, in order to ensure the safety of all human officers and soldiers, Jim Raynor still ordered all officers and soldiers to be careful and to keep more than a dozen battlecruisers on standby at all times, as well as all return landing modules on standby at all times.

The battlecruiser in the sky breathed a sigh of relief when it discovered that the Leviathan warship had left via space warp, and officially took over the planet Char.

"Inform all mankind that the Space Marines have completely defeated Char's Zerg army."

This wasn't a surprise attack, but a fair and square victory over the Zerg in a head-on confrontation—the first time the Zerg had been defeated in a direct confrontation.

The entire human world was filled with joy, and everyone was celebrating this great victory!

Jim Raynor removed his power armor and returned to his lounge. After fighting for several days and nights, even his modified body was somewhat exhausted, so he decided to take a rest.

Looking at his incredibly strong body in the mirror, Jim Reynolds suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Is this really my own body? So powerful? So beautiful, so strong, this body possesses unimaginable power.

While he was mentally exhausted from fighting the Zerg, his physical body did not feel that fatigue.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Just then, Jim Reynolds' communicator in his room suddenly rang, and a mysterious signal came in with a code he knew all too well.

It was a special symbol, derived from the Rangers created by Jim Raynor, an organization that existed to overthrow the Empire.

Jim Reynolds stepped forward and pressed the communication button.

"My God, Jim, is that really you? You finally received our signal. We only dared to send you a communication signal after you left the Empire."

"What happened? What happened to you? Why did you end up like that?" A man's face appeared on the virtual screen, and after seeing Jim Raynor, he asked anxiously.

The man before him was both familiar and strange. Jim Reynolds clearly remembered everything they had shared, all the jokes he had made, and all the swear words he had uttered.

But in his heart, he was indifferent to this guy, and even his life or death was meaningless to Jim Reynolds.

"I remember you, Matt! I remember everything about you, all the fun we had together, and the days fighting alongside the Ranger brothers," Jim Raynor said.

"God, I knew it, I knew it! Renault, what's wrong with you?"

What exactly happened?

What did Mengsk do to you?

"Why? Why did you become like this? You look like a giant now." Matt looked at Jim Raynor on the virtual screen and said with admiration.

Jim Reynolds' body looked incredibly fit, covered in muscles, and extremely strong; one of his arms was even thicker than his waist.

"I accepted the Space Marine program, became a powerful Space Marine, gained unimaginable strength, and served the Empire," Jim Raynor said without any concealment.

At this moment, he had already pressed the track button, intending to track the signal source and then locate the rebels' position, which is why he was chatting with Matt like this.

"How could you serve the Empire? How could you serve Mengsk? I know, Jim, you must have been modified by them, they altered your brain, didn't they?"

"I knew you were in trouble. It's okay, we'll get you." Matt said, looking at Jim Reynolds in front of him.

"I'm perfectly fine, and if you'd like, I can let you join the Space Marines' Reforging Program."

After undergoing this transformation, your bodies will become more than ten times stronger than ordinary people, and you will gain powerful self-healing abilities, endurance and stamina that are unimaginable to ordinary people. Most importantly, your lifespan will be greatly extended.

"According to those scientists' estimates, my current body can probably live to be 500 to 600 years old," Jim Reynolds said.

The reason why the Space Marine Corps attracts so many people to join and modify their units is because of this.

Besides possessing unimaginable power and gaining a pivotal position within the empire, a very important reason is that it can significantly extend lifespan.

No one can resist this temptation, the temptation of life.

Even today, a large majority of Space Marines are veterans in their fifties or sixties who have undergone modifications.

These veterans, with their extremely rich combat experience, are more likely to become combat-ready after undergoing reformation. Their combat style is also more cunning, making them far superior to new recruits.

"I will not accept that kind of modification. Look at yourself now, do you even look human? What human looks like you?" Matt said.

Just then, a member of the Hyperion who was in charge of connecting the communicator suddenly frowned, tapped the screen, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Commander Matt, boss, no! Jim Raynor, Jim Raynor is tracking our location using some kind of tracking method. We have to cut off communications, or our current coordinates will be exposed very soon," the communications officer sighed and said.

They were more heartbroken than anyone else to see Jim Raynor, the once kind and amiable Ranger leader, now in this state.

"Phew! Have you really become Mengsk's lackey?" Matt looked at Jim Raynor with a complicated expression and said.

"I do not serve Mengsk, I serve all of humanity, the Terran Empire. Humanity first, long live humanity," Jim Raynor declared.

A voice in his mind told him to temporarily pledge allegiance to Mengsk, but it truly pledged allegiance to the entire human race, not to any single individual.

If a single individual, such as Mengsk, were to do something that would harm all of humanity, Jim Raynor would not hesitate to shoot him in the head.

"I understand, boss. I'll get you out of Mengsk's clutches," Matt said, then ended the video call.

At this moment, the Hyperion was deathly silent; no one spoke, and everyone kept their heads down in silence.

"Alright, everyone, cheer up. I promise you, I will rescue Commander Jim Raynor. He will become the commander who smokes and brags to you all again."

"Instead of becoming a Space Marine commander for some damn Empire." Matt sighed and addressed the crew aboard the Hyperion.

Deep down, Markt was completely bewildered; his boss had clearly undergone a very powerful surgical procedure.

He no longer looks human; he's a giant. Humans can perform genetic modifications, but can they really shrink a giant?

At this moment, the Leviathan warship was hovering in a cosmic void. The Queen of Blades sat on the warship, head bowed in deep thought, considering a crucial matter.

The question is whether or not to accept Abathur's suggestion to undergo genetic modification again and become the Blade Queen as before!

The power that Mengsk's Terran Empire is now displaying far exceeds his imagination; the current Zerg army is simply no match for it.

If she wants to fight this Space Marine force, she must transform back into the Blade Queen she once was to have any chance of winning.

But Jim Raynor went through countless hardships, and I also went through countless hardships, to finally break free of the Zerg's body.

Does she really want to change back? Does she really want to become the Queen of Blades again?

But if she doesn't revert to Blade Queen, how can she bring Jim Raynor back to life? How can she turn him back into the Jim Raynor he once was?

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Just then, a sliver of darkness flashed through the Leviathan warship, and the entire room was enveloped by a strange, ghostly energy.

As the darkness dissipated, a hunched figure stood before Kerrigan; it was none other than the Dark Templar Zeratul.

"How dare you show your face in front of me! Who gave you permission to appear?" Shala Kerrigan roared, leaping into the air and kicking Zeratul away.

Then he pinned him to the ground and frantically swung his fists, relentlessly beating the Dark Templar.

"Ahem! Assistant! Sarah Kerrigan, I'm the one who brought you this warning."

"I bring you a prophecy, a prophecy about your future destiny!" Zeratul rolled over and placed a hand on Shara Kerrigan's forehead, beginning to transmit images to her.

Their thoughts traversed countless star systems and arrived at a strange and primitive planet.

"Look, Kerrigan, this is your home. This is Zereth, the mother of the Zerg. The most primitive Zerg kill, devour, and evolve together here."

This place possesses power beyond your imagination! If you could obtain the power of the native Zerg here.

"Then you will be able to defeat your enemies, defeat all your enemies." Zeratul said, then released Sarah Kerrigan's head.

"Ah! So he can help me defeat those so-called Space Marines? Can he help me defeat Mengsk? Can he help me rescue Jim Raynor?" Sara Kerrigan asked.

"The truth is there! Go find it! This is the last time I will appear before you. From now on, I will never come again, never appear before you again." After Zeratul finished speaking, he slowly retreated into the shadows and disappeared.

In a secluded spot on the Leviathan warship, Rhodes squinted as he observed everything before him.

The key plot character she had been waiting for had finally arrived. Zeratul brought Shala Kerrigan her final destiny, sending her to the place where she could truly transform—the Zerg's planet.

"Great master, are you sure you want the Queen of Blades to go there? To the Zerg homeworld?"

"If she gains great power there, she might compete with you for control of the Zerg." Izsa asked Rhodes.

He really couldn't understand why the new Zerg Overmind would do this, if it was to control Sarah Kerrigan.

Now, this Overlord can easily do it, and then reshape her back into his Blade Queen, making her completely obedient to his commands.

Why go through all that trouble to lure him to the Zerg homeworld? And was this Protoss Dark Templar also summoned by the Overmind?

"It's normal that you don't understand. What I want is not to control an ordinary Sarah Kerrigan, or rather, I never intended to control her at all," Rhodes said with a mysterious smile.

What I want is for him to grow into a super Xel'Naga, become my true rival, and then help me master the power of emergency relief.

Rhodes has no need for these low-level combatants right now. Even if the entire Zerg were to surrender, it would be meaningless to Rhodes.

After meeting Zeratul, and after some internal struggle, Sarah Kerrigan decided to travel to Zereth, the mother of the Zerg, to seek the powerful forces of the Primal Zerg.

With the Queen of Blades' command given, the Zerg Leviathan warships sailed toward an unknown star system in the distance.

After confirming that Sarah Kerrigan had gone to pursue the power of the Primal Zerg, Rhodes used teleportation to travel to the palace of the Terran Empire.

According to the latest news from Mengsk, the old man has successfully captured the hybrid. (End of Chapter)
